Information on using ebooks and e-readers like Kindles and Nooks

March 31, 2013 – None of our ebooks require using an e-reader device like a Kindle or Nook; at a minimum these ebooks can be read through your web browser. However, using ebooks on such a device or corresponding app on an iPad or Android tablet allows using their features, including bookmarking, zooming, and adding annotations.

Few of our ebook platforms provide their ebooks in an e-reader-ready format (EPUB or Mobi), though the number is increasing. Many platforms use PDFs, which can be used on most devices. If the platform uses Digital Rights Management (DRM), you may need to go through extra steps to get the ebook to work on your device.
